“Everyone asked us if that was going to happen. I don’t know!” she told Taste of Country. “We have definitely talked about marriage, obviously. When you have been together for six years, it’s bound to come up at some point.”

Raving over her aspiring actor boyfriend, Alaina described him to the outlet as “my best friend” and “an actual angel on earth”

“He’s the most attractive man I have ever seen,” she added. “Like every time I look at him — I mean, the older we get, the more attractive he gets and I’m starting to be like, ‘Glad we met at 17 because you are way cuter than me.’ ”

“July 5th, 2012 this nervous 17 year old boy would have done anything to make that pretty girl sitting next to him smile. He never could have imagined that on October 14th he would somehow work up the courage to ask her to be his girlfriend, and for whatever reason she would say yes,” he wrote alongside the image.

“4 years later she still makes me nervous, and I still do absolutely anything to see her smile. Happy anniversary @laurenalaina. This is just the beginning. I love you!” he continued, before adding a handful of sweet and humorous hashtags: “#ThisWasOurFirstSelfie,” “#FirstOfProbably2Million,” “#WhyDidntIFixMyHair,” “#SheKissedMeAnyway” and “#FirstKissOfALifetimesWorth.”
